Journal Metrics

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 1.566ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):2014: 1.566SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 1.188ℹ

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR):2014: 1.188SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.

Economics and Human Biology is devoted to the exploration of the effect of socio-economic processes on human beings as biological organisms. Research covered in this (quarterly) interdisciplinary journal is not bound by temporal or geographic limitations.

Themes include:

The impact of socio-economic processes, such as industrialization, urbanization, agricultural policy, technological change and commercialization and the degree of penetration of the world food system on biological welfare and health outcomes.

The effects of government intervention programs, as well as macroeconomic and public health policy on the human organism at either the individual or the population level.

Feedback effects from human biological outcomes to economic growth at the national, regional and local levels insofar as healthier individuals invariably lead longer more creative and more productive lives, influencing thereby the course of economic development.

The complex symbiotic relationship between such anthropometric indicators as weight, birth-weight, physical stature and the body-mass-index, as well as morbidity and mortality, on the one hand and socio-economic processes or events on the other.

The conceptualization of health and health models in economic theory.

The measurement of poverty, malnutrition and psychological deprivation and the role of health and income inequality in the persistence of poverty traps.

The biological components of the quality of life: how well does the human organism itself thrive in its socio-economic and epidemiological environment.

Health and economic systems; environment and health; health in the transition economies.

Statistical, econometric, methodological and philosophical issues associated with the measurement and modeling of these relationships.
